Moscow - The participants in a video conference between representatives of the Ukrainian government and the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics (DPR and LPR) through the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) mediation have so far been unable to reach an agreement on a date for holding another round of peace talks in the Minsk format, Denys Pushylin, a DPR special envoy for the contact group talks in Minsk, told journalists. 

“There is no question of dates so far. There are things that need to be discussed to work out a compromise decision,” he said.

The participants in the video conference “discussed what has actually been done, what work has been carried out, and mentioned a number of positive achievements,” he said.

“This concerns, among other things, the establishment of a fragile truce on the 9th [of December], no one killed, no one injured,” he said.
